"Seems like all the Glamour staffers have a wedding, engagement, or bridesmaid style story to share these days, so let me add mine to the mix: My beautiful sister Marnie got married this weekend (congrats Marnie and Neil!). While I was happy for the couple-to-be, prepping for the big occasion presented me with a major hairstyle dilemma. I had planned on wearing a gorgeous Monique Lhuillier gown--but was considering not wearing it because it was a little more revealing than my usual style. Feeling the need for long, cover-me-up-hair (My hair has grown since my big chop in May, but it&amp;#x27;s still kinda short), at the last minute I decided to run to the drugstore and pick up a set of Jessica Simpson&amp;#x27;s Hair U Wear 23-inch extensions! I actually bought two shades--the first was too blonde, the second one was too dark. I took both sections to my genius hairstylist, Aveda&amp;#x27;s Jon Reyman, who managed to give the extensions a hair cut! First Jon cut them in half, then trimmed the length straight across, lopping off about 6 whole inches! He then added the newly-shorn section to my ponytail (adding a bunch of pins to keep it secure), and wrapped my own shorter ponytail around the elastic, which made the faux hair blend in better with my own locks. So how did it turn out? Well, I wore the Lhuillier dress after all--with my Jessica Simpson extensions of course--and I can&amp;#x27;t tell you how many compliments I got! I felt cool and confident with my long ponytail sweeping over my bare shoulders and d?\uFFFDcolletage and the few people I told my hair came from the drugstore were in complete and utter disbelief! And I think all those pins in the ponytail actually gave me a little face-lift action (not a bad side effect!). Anyway, thanks Jon for the great &amp;#x27;do. And thanks Jessica for the great hair! Oh and P.S.: I was lucky enough to have my makeup done by my friend Julie Clevering, who happens to be Giada De Laurentiis&amp;#x27; makeup artist. Julie used a new foundation which I love from Jouer and layers of cluster lashes (that I&amp;#x27;m still wearing. Love &amp;#x27;em! ). What do you think of my long faux ponytail? Have you tried drugstore extensions? Did they work for you? What kind do you like best?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
