My name is Jen.

I'm a freelance online writer, dividing my time between Leeds and London (and sometimes New York City). J for Jen is the place I write about fashion, beauty, travel and life in general.

A Bit about Jen

I’ve been writing things online since the late 90s, when my mum finally gave in to my pleas and installed dial-up on my PC. I signed up for MSN Messenger, opened a Live Journal account, set my desktop background as a funny picture of a cat and never looked back.

  • Lockdown week two: a mood
  • I really enjoyed scrolling through my camera roll to pick these photos for the #dunsswedenrepsearch2020... it made a nice change from panicking about the pandemic! Hazel and Leo wear @dunssweden all the time - I love their soft organic cotton, their ethical approach and their amazing nature prints. Hazel and I are currently creating a year-long photo project with Duns floral prints, snapping them in season surrounded by real-life flowers. The first pic in this set is March - the Forget-Me-Not print amongst daffodils. I’d love to be considered as a rep for this beautiful brand (and you know I never ever do ads, so clearly I’m keen on this!) 🌻🍄🌿🌸🐞
  • Me: working from home with a three year old won’t be so bad! She’ll sit and watch telly while I get stuff done 🥰. Three year old: hold my Fruit Shoot
  • The arrival of spring is making me feel a little less anxious during these strange and uncertain times... I’m not usually one to panic but the total lack of solid information on what the hell we’re supposed to be doing is really messing with my head. For now we’re swerving soft play (but still going to nursery 🥴) and spending as much time out in nature (lot of wide, open spaces here in Yorkshire) as we can, just in case we’re confined to our house in the next few weeks. And we’re doing all that not for ourselves, but for those who are vulnerable - older people, pregnant people, immunocompromised people. Stay safe and wash your hands, pals ❤️ #dunsswedenrepsearch2020
  • Having a super stressful morning so sharing these pics to remind me that life with two kids is mostly great and doesn’t always make you want to lie down in a dark room for several hours 🥴
  • Nine months of Leo Lad! It’s been... wild. These past five months have been particularly tough, but this kid is worth it all. He is the sunniest, smiliest baby with so much love to give and a cuddle for everyone he meets. We’re coming up to my favourite age - walking, talking, less milk and more sleep. It’s all on the horizon and I cannot wait to see this lad grow. Swipe to see him at four months - I know it’s a cliche, but it’s true what they say about parenting... the days are long but the years are seriously short 🥰
