Sorry that I didn't post yesterday! This is what I have been up to for the past couple of days - washing, ironing, snipping any loose threads, using my sticky roller and making everything ready for the Style Guile Super Sale, where I'm offering for sale some of my favourite pieces - many of which have appeared on the blog.
So, unless anyone has a better idea, this is how I plan on running things:
If you see something that you like, drop me an email at
style@bethgoodrham.com with the name of the piece of clothing that you like in the email header;
I will respond (quite probably on Monday or Tuesday) with an email providing the details of my bank account, together with the postage costs;
The clothes will be sent out when the pennies have arrived;
I will aim to send the parcels no more than 3 days after receiving the pennies;
Goods will be sold on a first come first served basis and will be non-returnable;
I would love to wrap everything in tissue paper and make it look pretty but I probably won't have time!
I've tried hard to provide good photos and to ensure that everything is cleaned and well ironed (although I must admit that I haven't had everything dry cleaned) but if I have failed in this regard, it's really not intentional!
Postage*
All items will be sent second class;
Postage for items that can be sent as a large letter ie blouses, tops will be £2;
Postage for items that can be sent as a small parcel ie jeans, knitwear etc up to 1kg will be £3 and up to 2kg, £4
Postage for items to be sent as a medium parcel will be charged according to Royal Mail second class postal charges (between £5.20 and £28.55!)
* If for any reason I have got the postal costs around my neck (not due to too much fizz you understand. Hic!) then I reserve the right to charge the amount that the Post Office charges me!
So, here goes!

Whistles utility trousers with zip detail, size 8. Much prettier blue/green than is shown in the picture.
The pieces below are priced at £7.50, well until you reach the £5 category!
Topshop spotted trousers, 7/8th length, size 10 (not a hugely generous 10 though) machine washable. As worn in a blogging feature in Easy Living Magazine!
Hush ankle length trousers (or slightly above depending on height!) 97% cotton, 3% elastane, size small, which in this style equates to more of a 6/8 rather than an 8/10.
Boden wool mix jumper, size 8, machine washable - good length so good with jeans/skirts etc.
Boden black wool jumper, wool mix, size 8 (same style as above) machine washable.
LK Bennett embellished purple bolero - XS, machine washable - good length to wear with dresses

Jigsaw silk, modal and cotton top with bow detail, size S. Very forgiving style!

Jigsaw cropped mohair and nylon black and navy printed jumper, size 8, handwash. Brilliant for layering!
Zara navy and black "fur" sweatshirt style top, size S.
Ted Baker silk backed cardi, size 1. Washing instructions say dry clean only but it's fine on a hand wash cycle in the machine. Slight hole under arm which needs a stitch but this is more to manufacturing process, than wear.
GAP burgundy and camel striped long line 100% cashmere jumper, size XS (size 6 for this) - small hole on lower back. It says dry clean only but I've just washed it, as I do all cashmere, and it's fine. £80 new.
Oasis wool mix dress with laser cut hem detail, size 8, dry clean only.
Zara slim (but not tight, more of a tailored fit) black leopard print trousers, UK 8, wash at 30 degrees. Definitely appeared on the blog when I had a party at home one Christmas!
Topshop navy peg style trousers, size 8. Pockets trimmed with "leather". Good with either flats or heels.
Coast 100% silk, vest style top with racer back, size S. There are poppers inside on the strap so that a bra strap can be worn without showing. Lovely under a blazer for a night out.
Kew navy boyfriend style cardigan with silver stripe worked through it (94% merino wool, polyester and metallic), size S. Never worn.
Hobbs NW3 purple V-neck wool jumper, cotton, silk and wool, size 6 (but a generous 6). Works well with a higher rise trouser or jean.

Kew navy marl (almost dark denim looking) open fronted cardi, size S never worn.

GAP printed trousers, UK size 8, so most shop's equivalent of a size 10. Wished they loved me like I love them! Able to be washed and ironed.
Mango navy 100% cotton skirt - above the knee (on me at least). Really comfortable and great with a denim shirt or with a smarter top and heels. Size medium but it fits me so it's more like a small!
Ted Baker navy silky (100% lyocell) top, size 1. Looks much better with a body in it!!
"Pure" cashmere navy tank style knit - size 8, quite fitted. Only worn a couple of times. The top picture is a more accurate reflection of the colour.
Hobbs red bolero style top, size 8 - lovely over work dresses. (There's also a cerise one but it's not shown here. Very similar style.)
GAP cobalt blue relaxed style knit, XS. Looser shape, great with skinny jeans or trousers.
Kingfisher blue 100% silk H&M shirt, machine washable. Worn only a few times but I noticed when ironing it that it's a little thin in places - still has plenty of life left in it though.
Kew 100% linen tunic style top, size S - great on the beach. Comes to top of thigh.
Topshop sequinned double layered top, size 6 - one of my favourites, ever!

COS 100% navy cotton top with Peter Pan style collar, size 36.
GAP very fine, soft, cord legging jeans - quite bright blue, 26/32
Grey/lilac GAP top with slight cross over and ruching down one side, size XS but it's not desperately fitted. Nice with a white shirt layered underneath.
Zara silver sparkly shoes, size 5 - but a generous 5!
There are one or two extra pieces which I still need to iron and photograph but I thought that I would get these posted before the bank holiday weekend, so that everyone has a chance to take a good look at them. Have a fabulous break!
