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.

  • Dressing these two in the most beautiful, colourful, ethical clothing has been a huge source of joy for me over the last year... so I created a space to channel that positive energy, talk about my newfound hobby and share the Scandi love with anyone who’s interested... introducing @secondhandscandishop! I’ll be selling on Hazel and Leo’s outgrown Scandi clothing over there, as well as chatting all things kids’ clothes and posting outfits of the day. I am super excited to launch this mini brand and really hope you’ll come follow me there if it’s your kinda thing - I’ve just posted two competitions to kick the whole thing off, so if free clothes and Tony’s chocolate sound good to you then come take a look! 🌈

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.

  • Haven’t done a dungs of the day outfit in a while, so thought I’d come back with a bang 🌼🖤🌼
  • Most days with two kids I feel like I’m treading water - keeping my head above but pedalling madly below. Everything is held together by threads, and if one thread snaps the whole thing comes crashing down (see: our household laundry situation after Leo was poorly for a week. My god). We take each day as it comes, one foot in front of the other, and hopefully we find small moments of joy among the endless cycle of nappies and fish fingers and episodes of Bing. I took these photos just after my second failed attempt at putting Leo down for a nap... we never play in Hazel’s room but today we did and it was good ❤️
  • Little reminder to anyone having a tough time at the start of this new decade - be kind to yourself 🧡
  • Brunching with my best babe 🐞❤️🥞
  • 2019 / 2009... life comes at you fast! From 24 to 34, a marriage, a house, two kids, endless highs and plenty of lows. Always with @roballison by my side - here’s to another 10 ❤️
