Street Style IRL with Depop and Us!
And there were loads of moments to personalize the goods. Our booth, for example, offered vintage jean jackets and branded merch that in a post-haste moment could be personalized, thanks to our amazing embroiderer, Brooklyn's own ChainStich Embroidery.
Shoppers could also visit the Polaroid portrait studio, where they received a Polaroid picture and customized it with stickers to create a unique branded keepsake. On top (of that), there was a charming charms station, and a refreshing popsicle treat to fuel their shopping spree and celebrate summer.
But if you missed the event, no worries: Our six-month collaboration includes our curated closet on the Depop app, which will be updated with items straight from Cosmo photo shoots, special Cosmo merch drops, and cool finds from other Depop sellers.
Shop the Cosmo Drop here. PS: The proceeds from our portion of the event are being donated to a charity that means a lot to our team.

Who is Love Island's Angel? A reminder of her age, background and more as she gets closer to Harry
Love Island delivered another twist this week with a late addition bombshell: Angel Swift. Debuting on Friday 18 July, Angel made her first appearance during a rodeo-themed party (making us feel for the Love Islanders who couldn't get Cowboy Carter tickets bc they were already in Mallorca, tbh). Anyway, quickly after arriving, the 26-year-old caught Harry's eye, and there was some *very flirtatious* chat involving heavy eye contact and talk of spooning. Keep in mind that Harry is currently coupled up with Helena, and has been chatting to his ex Emma saying he'll "always" love On the other hand, she has said she has her eye on Ty, who is coupled up with Lauren. As all that drama unfolds, here's your cheat sheet on who Angel is: from her age to her occupation and whether she knows anyone already in the villa. Job: Aesthetics Practitioner and Salon Owner From: Maidstone, Kent Angel owns a salon called AngelFace, which offers a bunch of different services including waxing, hair extensions, microneedling and dermaplaning. Age: 26 Angel is 26 years old, celebrating her birthday on 1 February with a cheeky post that said "Happy National Angel Day 🎂". She is an Aquarius and according to Cosmo's Horoscope writer, they're "Not one for 'going with the flow', Aquarians make their own mind up and then stick to it. You can not cajole or persuade them from their viewpoint, unless you've got *evidence* i.e. data, facts, peer-reviewed analysis." Ahead of entering the villa, Angel has spoken about her position as a bombshell entering into the show while many of the Islanders are already coupled up. "Breaking up another couple? That is what's going to happen, so it's quite exciting really," she said. "I feel like people have been getting their heads turned very easily. I do feel like I have quite a good chance of turning someone's head." After being single for a year, she has said she's ready to find something serious. "It's an amazing opportunity to make new connections and have new experiences. I'm ready to make memories with someone, go travelling with them and fall in love," she said. You betcha! Angel has a hefty 124,000 IG followers and over 6000 TikTok followers. Her IG followers include Love Island alum, with former contestants Liberty Poole and Harriet Blackmore all commenting on Angel's announcement post. New episodes of Love Island air on weekdays and Sundays at 9pm on ITV2.

History Buff Peyton Manning Brings His Curiosity To ‘The Mega-Brands That Built America'
Working on creating the Polaroid camera on "the Mega Brands That Built America." There are many things that are known about former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning — that he spent 14 years as a professional player, that he's a five time Most Valuable Player, and has won two Super Bowls — but what most people might not be aware of is that he's fascinated with that past. 'I think if you ask my mother or any of my teachers growing up, they would tell you that history was always one of my favorite subjects, so I guess you could say I've always been a little bit of a history buff,' he reveals. Manning's affection for history is now coming in handy as he's executing producing the series The Mega-Brands That Built America. The series explores the surprising origin stories behind some of the world's biggest brands including Home Depot, Levi's, Apple, Kodak, Amazon, Target and more. Blending archival footage, original recreations, and expert interviews, the nonfiction series offers captivating portrayals of the most iconic brands across retail, electronics, automobiles, and more, with a focus on their trailblazing founders whose ingenuity, passion, and fearlessness created groundbreaking innovations that revolutionized our nation. The Mega-Brands That Built America is produced by Omaha Productions and Lucky 8 for The History Channel. PARIS, FRANCE - JULY 26: Peyton Manning attends the red carpet ahead of the opening ceremony of the ... More Olympic Games Paris 2024 on July 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Describing his role in the series, Manning admits, 'I am not front and center of and that's something that I really like. I like being part of a show that I'm not the quarterback, if you will. You'll see me pop up here and there, but we have historians, professors, journalists, and the entrepreneurs guiding the viewer throughout the series, and those experts really teach the lesson in each episode, my role would be more of the everyday consumer. I talk about how I interact with these brands and products in my everyday life.' However, this isn't to say that Manning isn't doing the behind-the-scenes work. "I generally like to help with the guest booking, join on the pitch meetings, and I watch the rough cuts and kind of give my two cents and thoughts where I can help. [Now]He quickly adds, 'But I also like the fact that [this series] has people smarter than me, that are experts in this space, that know what's best and what's going to make a great show. So we have a good collaborative team." Manning says that he's learned a lot working on the series, but one of the things about a brand that he found particularly interesting is that, 'In the late 1990's there was a new Home Depot opening every 53 hours in the continental United States. That's pretty fascinating to me. We're all so familiar with a big brand like Home Depot, but it just wasn't around 40 years ago, so I thought that was cool.' Along these lines, Manning points out about the series that, 'I promise that you'll learn something new in every episode. We're all familiar with names like Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos today, but the show really takes viewers to the early days of these huge companies and how they built their businesses. And, it's great to watch as a family. My kids watch it. They learn something. My wife and I learn something. It's a good show to watch with your family' He feels that The Mega-Brands That Built America is timely as well, saying, 'This show is so topical because we interact with these brands every single day in our day to day lives.' While he may be known for his on-field accomplishments, in this case Manning is happy to be, in a sense, a bit more on the sidelines, as he concludes, 'I love being a part of shows that are outside of sports, and one of the core tenants at Omaha Productions is that we want to champion hard work, and that is exactly what this series is all about. We're celebrating the hard work of all the people behind the scenes at these huge brands that have literally built America.' 'The Mega-Brands That Built America' airs Sundays at 10/9c on the History Channel and episodes are available for streaming the next day at

The Situationswitch Is Why Situationship Breakups Are so Hard
You know what they say, situationships are a spectrum. One minute, you're soaking up body heat in bed with the object of your unlabeled affections in the apartment where he lets you keep a toothbrush and the next morning, he's breaking up with you on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. If any of this sounds familiar, you are either an avid fan of my work—love that for you and you for that—and/or a fellow victim of a life-altering situationship. Either way, you know how uniquely devastating these adventures in ill-defined romance tend to be on pretty much all levels plus a secret other level you probably didn't even know existed till someone drove a knife through it! But as Cosmo's resident sex and situationships editor, a woman with an exceptional degree of expertise in the field of getting emotionally annihilated by a man who was less into me than I was him, I have identified one specific aspect of the often blindsiding, always eviscerating demise of a situationship. Allow me to introduce 'the Situationswitch.' Essentially, the Situationswitch is the rewriting of history that occurs at the end of a situationship whereby the person ending said situationship tries to downplay the seriousness and/or emotional intensity of your quasi-relationship in order to convince you that you actually don't have any right to feel angry or heartbroken about this whole thing because clearly it wasn't that deep! Suddenly he has conveniently forgotten about that time he let an 'I love you' slip out on the fifth date or all those times he called his bed 'our bed' and his apartment your 'home.' What, that? Probably just a slip of the tongue—are you sure you heard him right? Oh, and last night? When he held you close in that bed formerly known as 'our bed' and pulled you in even tighter every time you tried to wiggle away because you were overheating in his embrace? You must have been dreaming. You must have been dreaming this whole time, actually. Basically, the Situationswitch is the kind of simultaneously heart-shattering and blood-boiling behavior that had Taylor Swift insisting, 'YOU WERE THERE. YOU REMEMBER IT!' A form of gaslighting as gutting as it is confusing, as infuriating as it is disorienting. But just how intentional is this flipping of the situation-script? Is this a master manipulator, a man who's been waiting to rip off the mask, rip out the rug, and rip your heart a new one all this time? Or just your average dude doing what dudes do best—screwing up, tucking his tail between his legs, and backing away slowly hoping no one notices? According to clinical therapist Naomi Bernstein, PsyD, cohost of the Betches Oversharing podcast, this little breakup maneuver is likely more of a defense mechanism than the calculated hit on your heart it feels like from the other side of it. 'I believe the Situationswitch is a prime example of a psychology term called 'cognitive dissonance,'' says Bernstein. 'Humans desire for their values, beliefs, and actions to be in sync with one another.' When those things don't line up, she explains, we often feel compelled to shift either our beliefs or behavior in order to convince ourselves we are showing up as the person we want to think we are. Unfortunately, in the case of the Situationswitch, this adjustment tends to take the form of revisionist history meant to distance the Situationswitcher from their previous feelings and actions while downplaying your perception of them. 'In short, the person ending the situationship doesn't want to be seen as the bad guy,' says Bernstein. And in order for them to not be the bad guy, they need to not be hurting you—you have to be the one hurting yourself with all your delusional fantasies and unrequited feelings. See, he never led you on; you simply got too attached. So he's not trying to hurt you. In fact, he's trying really, really hard not to—in a way that will backfire more spectacularly than he can possibly imagine. Because the thing about a man who is breaking your heart is that there is absolutely nothing he wants to be doing less. Partly because he doesn't want you to get hurt, sure. But mostly because he just doesn't want to be the one doing it—the one responsible for the pain he's causing. The bad guy. Because it's too hard to say, 'I did mean all those things I said. I did have all those feelings you felt. We did do all those things together and I did hold you that close in bed last night because I knew this would be hard for me too. It's just that I don't feel those things anymore and I don't know why. Or maybe I do love you, just not enough.' So instead, he plays dumb. Tries to rewrite your memories. Plants and produces evidence—signs you clearly must have missed. He's going to Portugal next week, did you know that? No, you didn't. And don't you think that's the kind of thing you would've known if he'd been as in love with you as all these tears seem to suggest you thought he was? Besides, he's run the numbers and knows exactly how many dates you've been on—a figure he will hurl at you to the subtextual tune of, 'See, that's not even that many!' Meanwhile, you're left mentally clawing back through text messages, late-night phone calls, photos of his hand on your thigh, any artifacts to prove you're not delusional. But you can drag out all the evidence you want—it doesn't matter. In fact, it's probably better not to give him any more proof to destroy, any more memories to tie to a chair and interrogate till you admit you made the whole thing up. Because that's the worst of it all—the real reason these seemingly insignificant blips of not-quite relationships are so hard to get over. Worse than the heartbreak and the gaslighting and the future he's just ripped away from you is the fact that he's trying to take the past with him too.
