This Waterfall Looks Like It's From a Fairy Tale, and People Are Obsessed
Nature really never ceases to amaze. Everywhere you turn, there's another magical secret hidden in the depths of the ocean, or up the steep slope of a mountain. Case in point: the Kanarra Creek Canyon Waterfalls. Tucked away in the Zion National Park in Utah, adventurers can hike the canyon up to two waterfalls, which block upstream travel through a narrow slot in the canyon. In some places, hikers must wade through water to continue their hike.
Narrow slots in the canyon make for absolutely stunning photos, but the real draw is the unique waterfall destinations. There's a makeshift ladder to allow hikers to climb up the Kanarraville Falls (about 15 feet high) and trek onward - if you continue past the waterfalls for another half-mile, you can even reach a swimming hole with a mossy rock that people slide down. See the stunning images below.
Theory Alert! Could Ser Davos Actually Be the Secret Hero on Game of Thrones?
Caution: the following contains spoilers pertaining to Game of Thrones season six!
Between seasons of Game of Thrones, we've obsessed over theories predicting the secret savior of Westeros. Could it be Jon Snow - nay, Jon Targaryen - who might unite the Seven Kingdoms and defeat the White Walkers? Or might it be his fiery aunt, Daenerys? Hell, it might even be Sansa or Arya Stark, according to the theories we consume so ferociously to fill the void. But all this time, we've been overlooking some serious foreshadowing about one unexpected character: lovable Ser Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight.
According to an utterly convincing Reddit theory by Redditor FollowTheBeard, Davos may be Azor Ahai, or the "Prince That Was Promised." We know, crazy, right? After spending six seasons supporting another man (Stannis) who claimed to be Azor Ahai, it seems wild that it may have been Davos himself all along who can fulfill this ancient prophecy. But hear us out; the Easter eggs that have been strewn throughout the series, when combined, make an excellent argument for Seaworth as the Prince That Was Promised.
The Theory:
In typical Reddit fashion, FollowTheBeard's full theory begins with a succinct explanation for skimmers: "TL;DR: Davos drew Lightbringer from the fire. Davos was reborn amidst salt and smoke under a bleeding star. Davos resurrected Jon Snow and woke the dragon from stone. Davos is the savior that will protect the world from darkness. Davos is the Prince that was Promised."
"Davos is the savior that will protect the world from darkness. Davos is the Prince that was Promised."
Each of these moments, wherein Davos merely blends into the background, not focusing on his own exceptional qualities in favor of serving a greater good, add up to foretell the Onion Knight as an unexpected savior.
First, explains the internet theorist, is Davos's early encounter with a flaming sword. At the beginning of season two, Melisandre proclaims: "In the ancient books it is written that a Warrior will draw a burning sword from the fire, and that sword shall be Lightbringer. Stannis Baratheon, Lord of Light, your sword awaits you." While Stannis ceremoniously withdraws a sword from the flames, Davos observes from the background; after the pomp and circumstance ceases, the knight walks over and picks up the formerly flaming sword himself, casually walking away with it.
The next piece of evidence is part of the prophecy, which predicts that "When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt." Now, recall the conclusion of season two, when Davos and his navy are bombarded by Tyrion's Wildfire in the Battle of the Blackwater. The entire fleet is destroyed, and most of Stannis's soldiers perished in the battle . . . most, except Ser Davos. FollowTheBeard goes on to explain:
"Water is used pervasively in literature as a metaphoric mechanism of cleansing and rebirth. Fire is also widely used as a symbol for rebirth, renewed life, burning away corruption, etc. Davos 'comes back to life' in the Season 3 premiere as he wakes up on an island, rescued by Salladhor Saan, who even says:
'You've only just come back to life. Stay alive a little longer, my friend.'
Thus, Davos is reborn amidst smoke (wildfire) and salt (seawater). The metaphorical implications of Davos's rebirth can be thoroughly examined, but that's for another post."
Finally, Azor Ahai is foretold "to wake dragons from the stone." While Davos certainly hasn't interacted with any massive reptilian beasts a là Daenerys, he was in the room when Jon Snow (who we now know is a Targaryen) was resurrected atop a stone slab. According to this theory, it was no coincidence that Davos was the only one present when Jon awoke from death:
"During the resurrection scene, Jon Snow is laid out on a stone slab. Melisandre performs the ritual and . . . nothing happens. Tormund leaves, Melisandre leaves, Edd leaves. Only Davos stays. He lingers, as seen from this clip here. He approaches Jon, internally begging, pleading, willing, praying for his return. Shortly after, Jon gasps his first breath.
The delay between the ritual and first breath was not a dramatic pause. Melisandre did not resurrect Jon Snow. She never believed she could, nor did she have any faith left in the cause. Davos did. Davos, not Melisandre, brought Jon Snow back to life. Davos woke the dragon from stone."
These three pieces of evidence, along with Ser Davos actor Liam Cunningham's cryptic hints about knowing a secret straight from George R. R. Martin himself, are quite convincing. We'll definitely be playing close attention during season seven for more indicators that Davos is actually intended to save Westeros, not just serve it.
Not bad for a former smuggler who recently learned how to read, eh?
The 1 Homemade Condiment You Should (and Can) Make Immediately
If you already make your own salad dressings, then why not take it a step further by preparing your own condiments, too? One of the easiest and most decadent ways to dress up salads, appetizers, meats, and even desserts is balsamic glaze. It only requires one bottle of balsamic vinegar and 10 minutes. Here's the really easy method.
George Clooney Admits He "Chased" Amal For "Many Months" After They First Met
George Clooney was once one of Hollywood's hottest bachelors, who swore he would never get married again (he was married to actress Talia Balsam from 1989 to 1993). That is, until Amal Alamuddin (now Amal Clooney) came along. George first laid eyes on the human rights attorney at his home in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013. During a previous appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, the 55-year-old actor revealed, "We met in Lake Como. She was a friend of a friend who came to visit and then I chased her for many months, calling and writing, those kinds of things." George also admitted to Ellen DeGeneres that "from the minute we met, we just sort of felt like we were going to be together."
He ended up proposing six months later, and even though he had it all planned out, it ended up being "one of those horrible moments," he told Ellen. "I plotted the whole thing out. I had the ring hidden behind her. I had music playing, my Aunt Rosemary's gonna sing 'Why Shouldn't I.' Everything was planned out . . . it was like 25 minutes. Finally I literally said, 'Look, I hope the answer's yes, but I need an answer 'cause I'm 52 and I could throw out my hip pretty soon.' And she said 'Oh, yes,' and it worked out really well."
Fast-forward a few months later and George and Amal are husband and wife. The couple tied the knot in Venice, Italy, in September 2014, and have been looking crazy in love ever since. In June 2017, they welcomed twins (a boy and a girl)! Maybe fairy tales do exist.
Amal Clooney's Signature Maternity Style Is Worth Revisiting
While Amal Clooney was largely out of the spotlight for the last few months of her pregnancy, she made quite the statement when she first debuted her bump. Now it's been announced that the human rights activist and lawyer welcomed twins with husband George. From a fashion perspective, the thought that Amal has two children to dress is pretty exciting. We're expecting adorable custom onesies from the likes of Amal's favorite designers, including Altuzarra, Gucci, and Giambattista Valli. And though we might have to save those for our imagination, Amal herself had maternity style mastered, and that's something worth revisiting. Scroll to reminisce about her signature blend of elegance and sophistication.

Thankfully, George Clooney Did NOT End Up Naming His Twins After His Tequila Brand
Four months after announcing that they'd be expecting twins (and after George's mom, Nina, announced they'd be having a boy and a girl), George and Amal Clooney welcomed their little ones on Tuesday. The couple named their new bundles of joy Alexander and Ella, which are way better than "Casa" and "Amigos," which George recently joked that Amal had forbidden him to do - the names, of course, are from George's Casamigos tequila brand, which he co-owns with Cindy Crawford's husband, Rande Gerber. Congrats to the happy couple on their growing family, and congrats to the twins for not having to be named after a liquor company!
24 Times George and Amal Clooney Looked Madly in Love
George Clooney said goodbye to the single life when he went public with his romance with Amal Alamuddin during an African safari in March 2014. The two had a whirlwind courtship before they made things official when they tied the knot in Venice, Italy that September after a weekend full of festivities. In their years together, they've shared plenty of sweet moments at events, on red carpets, and while fighting for causes they believe in. And in June 2017, the couple welcomed twins, Ella and Alexander. Long story short: they're kinda perfect.

See the Over-the-Top Perks of an Emirates Airlines Business-Class Flight
I'm not usually one to travel in what you'd call "luxury." I'm a bargain-hunting adventurer who picks the cheapest seat on the plane and who is happy as long as there's a bed to fall into at the end of the day. Or a hammock. Or a sleeping bag. However, that doesn't mean I can't appreciate or, in fact, immensely enjoy it when an extravagant opportunity presents itself. Enter: Emirates business class. The airline is known for being one of the best in the world- and it truly lives up to that status, from its impeccable customer service to its top-of-the-line planes, particularly the business- and first-class sections.
On my recent trip to Thailand with Pandora Jewelry for the opening of a new crafting facility, I was able to experience the palatial features of Emirates business class. I flew from Bangkok, Thailand, to Dubai, UAE; had a layover in Dubai; and then flew Dubai to LA - both legs of the flight (one seven-hour and one 17-hour) were in Emirates business. With large big-screen TVs, personal minibars, full meals and drinks available the entire flight, and so many movie and TV options I couldn't keep count, the flight was a far cry from your average trip - and I loved it.
In addition to the regular perks of flying business class, like priority check-in, a fast pass through security, access to airport lounges, and included food and beverages, Emirates (especially Emirates Airbus 380) offers a unique level of luxury you'll be hard-pressed to find with many other airlines. From an actual lounge on board the plane to seats that recline fully flat, touchscreen technology, and gourmet dining, it's an experience that's worth having (at least once in a lifetime) if you're in the mood to majorly splurge. The downside is that this glamorous method of travel costs well above your average ticket price and can end up costing more than your trip itself. Take a look at the over-the-top features of Emirates business class.
Kellyanne Conway's Husband Just Trashed Trump's Tweets as "Sad"
Just hours after Kellyanne Conway told the Today show that the media has an "obsession" with President Donald Trump's tweets, her husband, George Conway, revealed his own thoughts about the president's Twitter antics. Mr. Conway took to Twitter to discuss Trump's tweets about the "watered down" travel ban and how he thinks the Justice Department should "seek a much tougher version" following the attack in London.
"These tweets may make some ppl feel better, but they certainly won't help OSG [the Office of Solicitor General] get 5 votes in SCOTUS, which is what actually matters. Sad," Conway wrote, seen below.

While Trump's foes may have gotten a little satisfaction from thinking that Conway's criticism might be revealing of his wife's true feelings about her boss, he later explained that he still "VERY, VERY STRONGLY" supports the president. But he did point out that he does not believe the president's rampant Twitter behavior will help his case in the Supreme Court.

12 Brides Went Ombré on Their Wedding Dresses - and the Results Are Stunning
White wedding gowns are traditional and beautiful, but for ladies seeking that unexpected wow factor, they'll want to go ombré. Many brides have worn colored dresses before, but ombré, or dip-dye as Pinterest calls it, is slightly different. Instead of the entire dress being one color, only the bottom portion of it is dyed. The color intensity ranges from light (we dubbed it the watercolor effect) to dark, though blue and pink seem to be among the most popular shades.
Given that color was big on the runway for Fall 2017, designers will be quick to adopt the trends for their bridal collections. In fact, dip-dye dresses are plentiful now. Read on to see women who have worn them IRL in stunning snaps. They might convince you to ditch that white wedding dress for good.
Working Out and Still Not Losing Weight? A Dietitian Says This Is Why
You've been exercising on the regular, doing cardio and strength training, but your body hasn't really changed. What the f*ck gives? It can be so insanely frustrating that you're working so hard for what seems like nothing, but unfortunately, just because you exercise doesn't automatically mean weight will fall off you and reveal toned arms, toned legs, and a flat belly.
What you eat directly impacts whether or not you'll lose weight, and certified dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, RD, CD, of Whole Health Nutrition, says the number one reason she sees people working out and not losing weight is because they're eating too many calories a day. Aside from exercise boosting appetite, there's "the rationale that you worked out so you deserve to have a treat or more food!"
Leslie says to lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit. If you walk for 60 minutes or run for 30 minutes, which burns about 300 calories, and you suck down a 300-calorie post-workout protein smoothie, you haven't created a calorie deficit - you're just coming up even at the end of the day.
Leslie suggests using a calorie-counting app like MyFitnessPal to determine your recommended daily calorie intake, putting in that you want to lose one pound per week in the settings so you're not cutting out too much. "Then when you exercise, add in the exercise calories but only eat back half," so if you burn 300 calories working out, only eat back 150 calories.
What you eat is important, too. Leslie suggests focusing on more protein, more fiber, and fewer refined carbs and sugar. Basically aim to eat healthy most of the time, prevent overeating by eating until you're satisfied but not stuffed (80 percent full), and drink lots of water.
The kind of workouts you do also matters. A light walk three times a week isn't going to budge the scale. If you're trying to lose weight, fitness instructor John Kersbergen says, "The most efficient way to get results is to do some form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for a total-body workout and to focus on strength training certain body parts (upper body, lower body, core) on different days of the week." We're talking 45-minute sessions three to four times per week. You'll not only burn calories from the actual workout, but the muscle mass you're building will help to burn extra calories as well.

You'll Fume Over the Reason a Girl Was Disqualified From a Soccer Tournament
Milagros "Mili" Hernandez is an 8-year-old who's already good enough at soccer to be on the 11-year-old team. However, Mili and her all-girl squad, the Azzurri Achurros from Omaha, NE, were disqualified from the finals of a tournament simply because Mili prefers to wear her hair in a short crop, rather than long.
Yes, you read that right. Get ready for your blood to boil, y'all.
After Mili helped her team get to the finals of the tournament, and several hours prior to their last game, Mili's dad, Gerardo Hernandez, was informed over the phone that his daughter's team was disqualified by the Springfield Soccer Club, whose officials insisted Mili was a boy. The 8-year-old was rightfully in shock over this absolute ignorance, and her dad told WOWT 6 News, "She was crying after they told us . . . They made her cry."
The president of the soccer club, Mo Farivari, said that the mistake was first made due to an error on one of Mili's forms, which listed her as a boy. However, because her other forms listed her as a girl and she plays on an all-girl team, Farivari assumed the issue would be straightened out fairly easily. Unfortunately, despite showing up to the game with an insurance card that confirms Mili is, in fact, a girl, Hernandez said the tournament organizers refused to even take a look at it.
Mili believes the organizers' actions to be unfair, as they're judging her completely for her appearance rather than looking at the facts. "When my hair starts to grow I put it short because I've always had short hair," Mili said. "I didn't like my hair long. . . . Just because I look like a boy doesn't mean I am a boy. They don't have a reason to kick the whole club out."
However, the young girl isn't going to stop playing soccer because of this. "There's other tournaments that I can play," she said.
Since Mili's story has made headlines, many have weighed in on the absolute ridiculousness of this scenario, including US soccer stars Mia Hamm and Abby Wambach, who both tweeted in support of the little girl and her soccer dreams.
Hey Mili, we would love to host you at one of our camps @TeamFirstSA . Be you!

The Final, Chilling Moments Leading Up to Princess Diana's Tragic Death
It's been nearly 20 years since Princess Diana tragically passed away. The Princess of Wales, who was best known for her dedication to charity work and impeccable sense of style, was only 36 years old when she was involved in an automobile accident in the Alma Tunnel in France, just 25 minutes after midnight on Aug. 31, 1997. Diana and her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, sat in the back of the car, while Dodi's bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, sat in the front with driver Henri Paul. None of them wore seat belts.
Trevor is the sole survivor of the crash, and Dodi and Henri were killed on the spot. Diana's heart was still beating by the time the ambulance arrived at the Pitié-Salpetrière Hospital in southeast Paris, but shortly after, her condition began to deteriorate. After multiple attempts to revive her, doctors came to terms with the fact that they could no longer do anything more to save her life. Diana went into cardiac arrest at around 2:10 a.m. and was pronounced dead at 4 a.m. In a statement read to a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, anesthesiologist Daniel Eyraud said, "We decided by common consent to stop heart massage as it was completely impossible to restore cardiac activity after such a long period of arrest. From that point, the Princess was pronounced dead. I personally believe we did everything possible to save the Princess with the appropriate means."
On Sept. 6, seven days after her passing, Diana was honored with a public funeral that remains one of the most watched events in history. Three million people crowded the streets of London to follow the route of Diana's coffin from Kensington Palace to her final resting place at the Spencer family home in Althorp, England, and an estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide viewed or listened to the funeral.

After a Tragic Car Accident, 1 Mom Opens Up About the Stillborn Baby She Lost
Warning: the images in this post are upsetting in nature.
When Emma Fairbairn was six months pregnant, she was involved in a devastating car accident that sent her immediately to the hospital. As she was riding in the ambulance, the mom from Wales could feel her unborn baby kicking, and although his heart rate was elevated when they first arrived, it had returned to normal and things looked fine. However, when a midwife came for another check during overnight observations, they were no longer able to find the baby's heartbeat.
After a scan confirmed what everyone feared, Emma prepared for the unthinkable: delivering her stillborn baby boy. "I just don't want tomorrow to ever come. Knowing I have to go through hours of labor when my body's all battered and bruised anyway, then give birth knowing I shouldn't expect to hear a cry," Emma wrote on Facebook before Flynn's birth. "I should be picking what color to paint your bedroom not whether to have you buried or cremated -just isn't fair."
Emma spent two days with baby Flynn's body in the hospital, where she was able to begin to grieve and wash his body before saying goodbye. "It just feels like a nightmare I can't wake up from. My whole world has been ripped apart and I'm devastated," Emma told HuffPost UK. "I'd be able to get my head around it a bit better if there had been something medically wrong, but he was perfectly healthy and for the first few hours after the crash I was told he was OK and I genuinely thought we were so lucky to both be surviving it."
Since returning home from the hospital, Emma has shared photos from her short time with Flynn as her friends raise money for his heartbreaking funeral. "His poor little body couldn't take the pain or stress from the horrific crash yesterday and there was nothing I could do to save him when my body was meant to keep him safe," Emma wrote. "And up until late last night, I thought it had. Rest in peace my beautiful baby boy."

This Insane Theory Connects Wonder Woman to 1 of DC's Most Infamous Villains

Spoilers for Wonder Woman below!
The first and last scenes of Wonder Woman contain a very subtle Justice League Easter egg, but it turns out there might have been another tiny connection to the DC Extended Universe hidden within the film. According to ComicBook.com, the strength-enhancing gas the evil Dr. Maru (aka Doctor Poison) brews up in the film might be the same chemical compound used years later to help create Bane. Remember him?
Image Source: Everett Collection
Yeah. Not the friendliest dude.
In Wonder Woman, Dr. Maru and General Ludendorff are hard at work on a chemical formula that will help Germany win WWI by literally melting the gas masks off of the opposition. On the way to discovering this devastating gas, Dr. Maru also creates a substance that, when inhaled, can give someone superhuman strength and unlimited energy for a brief period of time. We see just how strong it really is when Ludendorff snorts some of it and is able to hold his own in a one-on-one fight with Wonder Woman (which is saying something, since even Thor is afraid of fighting her).
Unfortunately for Ludendorff, Wonder Woman gets the best of him and ends his life. With the help of Steve Trevor, Diana is also able to destroy Dr. Maru's labs and all of the gas. When the time comes to kill Dr. Maru, however, Diana chooses to spare her life, and the twisted chemist escapes into the night. So, how does all of this connect to one of Batman's most formidable nemeses?
Although the Bane seen in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises doesn't use the "Venom" formula to enhance his fight skills, there are earlier versions of the popular DC villain that do. He's depicted as ingesting Venom with the help of a device on his wrist and the tube that connects directly to his skull, and since this version of the DCEU has already shifted from the one in Nolan's films, there's a chance a new take on Bane might pop up at some point. Given the fact Dr. Maru doesn't die, she very well could have run off and kept experimenting with the super steroid she created for Ludendorff, eventually formulating the gas Bane uses to become stronger and more aggressive. In other words, Diana's act of mercy could be the very thing that helps create one of Batman's biggest foes down the road.

There are plenty of crazy theories floating around out there, but we have to say that this one actually holds a bit of weight. Maybe they'll explore the idea more in the Wonder Woman sequel, which will reportedly be set in modern times.

1 Woman Explains Why Data Scientist Is the "Sexiest" Job of the 21st Century
If you get your trending advice from The Harvard Business Review - and who doesn't?! - then you may have caught their claim that data scientist is the "sexiest job of the 21st century". Bold assertion, we know, though in this case the word "sexy" mainly means "highly in demand" because there's such a shortage of qualified professionals in this role. According to the HBR:
The title has been around for only a few years. . . . But thousands of data scientists are already working at both start-ups and well-established companies. Their sudden appearance on the business scene reflects the fact that companies are now wrestling with information that comes in varieties and volumes never encountered before. . . . On this front, demand has raced ahead of supply. Indeed, the shortage of data scientists is becoming a serious constraint in some sectors.
This is all fine and interesting except for one thing . . . what does a data scientist actually do? We took our curiosity to someone who knows a lot about data science: Vivian Zhang, founder and CTO of the NYC Data Science Academy. Keep reading to find out Zhang's answers to our burning questions, but fair warning - you might just plan a career hop to data science afterward.
What exactly is a data scientist?
"A data scientist is someone who has a combined background of math, computer science, statistics, and domain knowledge. His/Her role is to deliver businesses' value using the data! For example, he/she will do a forecast for the next quarter's sales revenue, understand the driving factors of marketing activities, and come up with innovative ideas to drive a successful business. It is the secret weapon that no enterprise or research entity can overlook. The more companies invest into it, the more insight and competitive advantage they get."
What might a typical day look like for a data scientist?
"He/she might start with a stand up meeting with different business units and come up with instructions or insights to get projects done. Also, a data scientist would get into touch with 'implementers' and strategize about how their job is going and what can be done to improve it, using data.
For example:
- for a sales team, he/she can analyze the sales funnel and determine how to allocate resources more effectively to reach their goals;
- for a marketing team, he/she could find out ways to increase results based upon streaming data, user persona, channel coverage;
- for an executive team, he/she could find out the best way to make different teams communicate using data and find new opportunities for efficiency;
- for an operations team, he find out where the costs or inefficiencies are and how to them to increase productivity."
Why do you think "data scientist" continues to be deemed a top (and even "sexy") career?
"There is a huge demand for data scientists that is only growing in the coming years. One of the main reasons is that amount of data being produced and recorded in the world, across all aspects of business and daily life, is constantly increasing and businesses and organizations have to tap into insights from that data. I would say it is just the beginning of the golden age for data scientists."
What's the best thing about being a data scientist?
"It's fun, challenging, and rewarding. One of the best things about being a data scientist is that if you build a good model for your data, you can actually see the results of your work right away."
What kind of career advice do you have for someone pursuing a career in data science?
"Start learning about computer programming to build a 'problem solving' mentality. This is truly a way of thinking that is best learned with hands-on experience. And, most importantly, start ASAP!"
The Most Outrageous Feature In Heather Dubrow's New Home (Hint: It's Not the Champagne Doorbell)
When Evite spokeswoman and former Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow revealed that her palatial closet had its own champagne doorbell, more than a few jaws dropped. "My champagne doorbell is one of the greatest things ever" Heather laughingly told us in a recent phone interview.
"When we're building the house I was like, 'Where's my room?' Terry's got this man cave and and I'm like, 'Where am I going?' And I realize it's my closet, and so I made sure that it was really fabulous and comfortable." As for who's on the other end of the doorbell? Heather says it rings in the kitchen, and she wasn't shy about informing her husband, plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow, that when he heard it buzz, he was expected to retrieve her bubbles.
The real shocker, however, is that this over-the-top home customization is not the most fabulous feature in Heather's house. That award goes to Heather's dumbwaiter. That's right, she installed a dumbwaiter in her house that runs from the garage straight into the pantry. "I designed it so that when you pull into the garage, you can park and unload the groceries into the dumbwaiter and hit the button and the dumbwaiter goes into the pantry." How brilliant is that!? And talk about an improvement in daily quality of life!
We wish Heather was taking on design clients so we could have her do our home. Until then, we'll have to satisfy ourselves with pictures of her outrageous mansion.

Victoria Beckham's Colorblock Look Is So Bright, It Just Might Leave You Blinded
We're pretty used to seeing Victoria Beckham sporting relatively muted colors, whether it's one of her many little black dresses or her flawless neutral looks when she hits the airport. So it's safe to say our jaws all but hit the floor when she was recently spotted in a color-block outfit that's so bright, it just might leave you blinded.
The fashion mogul mixed two eye-catching colors, donning a long-sleeved tangerine top and pair of expertly tailored lime-green pants. (Talk about an unexpected combination, especially from the queen of all-black outfits!) At first glance, we couldn't help but notice that she sort of looked like an upside-down carrot. But hey, maybe vegetable-inspired fashion is about to be the next big trend this Summer (ha, kidding). All produce-related jokes aside, there's no denying these two hues are nearly impossible to seamlessly mix into one wearable outfit. Naturally, Victoria rocks it with ease, finishing the ensemble with her go-to mules and a camel jacket.
Read on for a closer look at her head-turning outfit, which is sure to inspire you to ditch the neutrals and go bold every now and then.
