However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Easy to Wear: We understand the hustle and bustle of life. That's why these childrens slippers come with a slip-on design. No fumbling with laces or straps; just slide them on and you're good to go. The first Ballet shoes worn by the dancers of the Royal Academy of Dance were heeled slippers. These shoes were quite difficult to wear and prohibited any jumps and a lot of technical movements. The heeled slipper did not stay around for very long. No one knows exactly when the heel was dropped and ballerinas wore non-heeled shoes, but the abandonment of the heel meant that the dancers could do far more than ever before. It is rumouredthat Marie Camargo of the Paris Opera Ballet may have been the first dancer to take the heels from the slippers. ANTI-COLLISION TOE DESIGN】Toe protection design, perfect protection of children's toes when playing，toe to the tail is slightly upturned, the fitting angle balances the pressure, ergonomic design.More comfortable to wear.Today most toe shoes are fashioned of layers of satin stiffened with glue, with a narrow sole often made of leather. Ballet dancers in the early part of this century also wore shoes that would seem unmanageably soft today. Tamara Karsavina was said to dance in toe shoes of Swiss goatskin, while the ballerina Pierozi reportedly wore only Moroccan leather. It was fundamental to the development of Ballet technique that the pointe shoes be stiffened and stronger to support longer balances and challenging pirouettes. Adorable Design: Fashion meets function in these girls cat slippers. The cute cat design, accentuated by shiny glittery ears, ensures you're always in style. They're not just slippers; they're the height of foot fashion that makes a statement. Unmatched Comfort: When it comes to girls slippers, comfort is paramount. Our slippers are designed with memory foam insoles that mould to the contours of your feet. Every step feels cushioned, making it feel like you're walking on a soft cloud. It's not just a slipper; it's a foot-hugging experience. As dance progressed into the 19th century, the emphasis on technical skill increased, as did the desire to dance en pointe without the aid of wires.Marie Taglioni is often credited as being the first to dance on pointe but like many things in the early history of Ballet, no one knows for sure.

A perfect gift for all Disney fans.The birth of the modern pointe shoe is often attributed to the early 20th-century Russianballerina, Anna Pavlova, who was one of the most famous and influential dancers of her time. Pavlova had particularly high, arched insteps, which left her vulnerable to injury when dancing en pointe. She also had slender, tapered feet, which resulted in excessive pressure on her big toes. To compensate for this, she inserted toughened leather soles into her shoes for extra support and flattened and hardened the toe area to form a box.
