By Mimi: Company Magazine #stylebloggerawards 2013

What do you get when you put a load of super stylish bloggers, a DJ that plays the most amazing tunes, a group of highly talented and award winning writers who make up the team of the UK's most innovative and unique fashion mag all in one super cool, almost secretive, bar in Shoreditch? One of the most amazing parties you'll ever see, that's what!

Unless you've somehow managed to miss my constant twitter, facebook and instagram pics of the night, then you'll instantly know that I'm on about the Company Magazine #stylebloggerawards 2013, which was in association with New Look.

This little blog had been shortlisted in the "Best Fashion Blog" category and although I never thought we'd win, just being in the same category as the other hugely talented and creative bloggers was honestly such an achievement. I wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who took the time to vote for By Mimi - it really did mean a lot to me.

The event itself was honestly one of the most amazing bloggers event that I've ever been to. Not only was it practically like an aspiring writer's heaven, being surrounded by the whole team of one of the most amazing and diverse magazines to come out of London, but it was also such an incredible feeling being invited to an event with so many motivated, determined and ambitious young women.

The event itself was situated just off Brick Lane in Shoreditch, which we all know is super stylish and cool. We were given free champers on arrival, as well as being treated to a number of blogger inspired cocktails! In true blogger style, there was a make up area where you could have your make up done, a hair styling area where bloggers could transform their locks, a craft area hosted by Pinterest's Pinned it! Made it! team, where you could create your own sunglasses and also an amazing photobooth which was obviously hugely popular amongst us bloggers ;)

As the event was in association with New Look, there was also an area where you could browse some of their latest pieces and jewellery!

The awards were read out by the gorgeous Victoria White, who as you all know is the editor of Company Magazine, and Theresa Caney who is the beautiful web editor.

Obviously, being the aspiring writer that I am, I nabbed a quick few mins to have a chat with Victoria, who I had interviewed previously for this blog. She was SO lovely and really did take the time to answer my questions, which obviously made me respect her even more than I already did.

The bloggers who won all the awards all REALLY deserved them. They were all so grateful and seeing their smiles made the night extra amazing. We all spend so much time putting effort and hard work into our blogs that when we get recognised for it, it really does mean so much. HUGE congratulations to everyone who won and obviously every who was shortlisted.

Anyway, I'll let you have a little browse of those photos. Thank you Company Mag for putting on such a fantastic event! Same time next year, yes? ;)
