My loves, there are just a few hours left to submi

My loves, there are just a few hours left to submit your @JimmyChoo #ChooSketch designs before midnight London time tonight!! I have modified my submission to 'Hearts of Hope' after it was brought to my awareness today that rendering prayer flags on a shoe can be seen as disrespectful. My intention was only ever to honor a country and culture I loved visiting, and for those that I offended, I am truly sorry. I've since changed my design to the rainbow of hearts 🌈💕, to both heal and lift our spirits at a time when we need it most! A BIG thank you to those who continue to join me on this journey. I hope you are all feeling happy and healthy this Friday, and ready for our next TWD Paint Challenge tomorrow!! xx MM
