Simple Sustainable Style
Hello!
I'm Sophie, a writer and jeweller based in Birmingham, UK. For over a decade, I’ve been exploring simple living, sustainable style, and slow travel—sharing practical, relatable ways to live more thoughtfully through my blog and freelance writing.
Oh My Clumsy Heart, the jewellery brand I founded in 2012, was my springboard into ethical fashion. After realising how difficult it was to find jewellery that was affordable, made to last, and eco-friendly, I decided to create it myself.
That decision led me to rethink more than just jewellery—it pushed me to evaluate my entire wardrobe and lifestyle. I quit fast fashion, learned about environmental issues, and began embracing a more considered way of living.
This journey didn’t stop at my own wardrobe. Now, with years of experience writing style guides, building capsule wardrobes, and curating packing lists, I help others create more outfits with fewer, better pieces—showing how small, purposeful changes can make life simpler and kinder to the planet.
When I’m not designing jewellery or writing 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.
