Simple Sustainable Style
Hello, I'm Sophie!
I’m a writer, jeweller, and outfit repeater with a 50-piece thrifted wardrobe that’s been going strong for over a decade. Based in Birmingham, UK, write about simple living, sustainable style, and embracing a wardrobe that works harder (without trying to fit into the latest trends).
I founded Oh My Clumsy Heart back in 2012, when I realised it was near impossible to find jewellery that was affordable, designed to last, and eco-friendly. So, I made it myself.
That decision sparked a total shift—not just in how I approach jewellery, but in how I see my entire wardrobe and lifestyle. I ditched fast fashion, embraced conscious consumerism, and discovered that less really is more (and way more stylish, too).
Now, I’m sharing all the ways you can build a wardrobe that’s personal, practical, and full of personality. No boring capsule rules—just clever styling, sustainable fashion advice, and real-life outfit inspiration.
Whether you’re building a capsule wardrobe, getting creative with what you’ve got, or just learning how to wear what you love more often, I’m here to help you make it work with my style guides and capsule wardrobes.
When I’m not designing jewellery or talking about sustainable fashion, you’ll find me exploring the UK with my partner and our dog, or tending to my ever-growing collection of houseplants.
About A Considered Life
Welcome to A Considered Life, where style, sustainability, and simplicity meet.
This blog is all about taking a slower, more thoughtful approach to fashion, living, and travel. Great style doesn’t come from chasing trends or copying other people’s outfits, it comes from wearing what makes you happy—and that’s exactly what I’m here to help you do.

Whether you’re figuring out how to remix your wardrobe, make better shopping decisions, or just find more ways to love what you already own, you’ve found your space. No rules, no stress—just practical, personal style that works for you (and the planet).
