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.

  • Friendship ended with jeans. Now dungarees are my best friend 😏. . Whenever I post a pic of my @lucyandyak dungarees I get DMs about the sizing, so here’s what I know. I wear Originals in an L30 which roughly translates to a 14-16. I’m 5’7 but my height is in my legs - if you have a long torso you probably need the Tall versions to avoid a camel toe situ. If you have longer legs and/or prefer a longer length (I like mine really cropped and roll them twice), go for the regular version but a 32 leg. I actually buy all my L&Y dungas secondhand because I much prefer the fit of their older blue label styles - they’re 100% cotton, whereas the new ones have elastane. When I’d worked out what size was best for me I scoured eBay, Depop and the L&Y buy and sell Facebook group for older pairs to build up my stash. Now I just need classic black, olive green and maybe a rusty shade to complete my collection! 😍

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.

  • Pumpkin season is here and we are ready for it. Hazel is really into Halloween this year so we’re gonna go all out - decorating, pumpkin carving, costumes and trick or treating! 🎃🦇🕸👻
  • Having a really really great time in Sweden. Can we live here, please? 🇸🇪
  • Happy Sunday! There was potential for a lie-in this morning as Hazel has just woken up at 8.30am... but in a classic second child move, Leo has been up since 5.45am 🥴 Ah well, at least they’re cute! 👧🏼👶🏼
  • I do love a tone-on-tone look, especially when it includes dungas and DMs. Spot the baby rolling about in the background... 🍇
  • Four mums vs four toddlers, three babies and a five year old, at the seaside. Tbh I think we all won this one 🌊☀️🐟🦀
