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.

  • Christmas at Chatsworth House is truly magical. So many trees, all twinkling under those incredible ceilings. Hazel and Leo were captivated! Feeling super festive now 🎄✨
  • AD | It’s finally done - ey up, beautiful new hallway! I am so so SO delighted with how this space turned out. We started by ripping up the old stair carpet, painting the banisters and fitting the runner. Then we painted the door and did the tiles - the tiles are from @ytctiles and came with a very kind discount (hence the ad!). Rob and I designed the mosaic and our top tile man Carl laid them - the finished result is just TOO GOOD and I’m a bit obsessed with it. We finally found time to hang our prints and fix the shoe storage to the wall, then I spent yesterday faffing and until everything was in place. Swipe to see the before shot - sorting this part of the house has made a HUGE difference and I just adore it! 💛.

  • Christmas has arrived in the Allison household and I’m already regretting that fireplace arrangement after the hundredth “put that back please!”, said with increasingly gritted teeth. Toddlers! Stockings look good though, eh? 🎄
  • Triple threat Marimekko x Uniqlo... hoodie, polo neck and socks! I love this collab and wish I could own it all 💕
  • It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas (donuts) 🎅🍩
