We’re bringing the blog back! To kick-start our new series we are introducing one of the latest additions to Tonic, Cubic – a British-based brand focusing on quality materials and original designs for high-street retail pricing. Let’s get ourselves up-to-date and see which trends we are loving for the Autumn/ Winter 2016 seasons:

#1 Bold Prints / Outerwear:

We can’t deny our love for the summer months, the air smells a little fresher and the world seems a little brighter, however the sunny days are few and far between and we love taking advantage of the lazy days that the winter months bring. The layering of textures and tones – and in this case patterns – is intriguing. Creating shapes and strong silhouettes and playing with textures is exactly what Cubic are doing for their Autumn/Winter 2016 Collection. This season it is no longer a faux-par to mix your polka dot coat with floral patterns and paisley prints, it’s being embraced! We will have lots of playful prints to share with you here at Tonic, so keep your eyes peeled!

#2 The A-Line Mini Skirt:

We can all agree that London might be the last place one would think of sporting a mini-skirt – and whilst we’d usually agree, there’s just something a little special about this Double Face Mini Skirt by Cubic. Down to its black buckle detailing to its layered prints, its polka dot pattern and cut bring us right back to the 70’s. This season it’s all about the A-line cut, it’s chic and ready to wear. The possibilities are endless – whether you want to go for something a little more subtle or a little more daring there are many A-line styles out there that you’re bound to fall in love with!

#3 Add A Little Couture To Your Wardrobe With The Ruffles!

Ruffles, ruffles, ruffles! Whether it’s ruffle necks, bell sleeves, a lettuce-edged hem, creating a bold but clean outline… we are out to make a statement with this trend, almost adding a couture touch to your high-street-style. We are definitely about subtle ways to make an average outfit incredible! It adds a dramatic element to any outfit and we cannot wait to see more of this around! Pass me up some ruffle sleeves immediately!

#4 Different Kind Of Denim?

Distressed, frayed hems, cropped wide leg jeans, whatever it is – we are getting experimental with denim this season, so look out for some wonderful styles of denim by Cubic and our other brands at Tonic. These choices are only making our wardrobe burst at the seams, as if it wasn’t already! Jeans are a necessity to the wardrobes of all of us, so why not dare to be a little different this season with some unexpected styles.  With these jeans they can always be dressed up and down for any occasion – with a pair of heels for an evening out with friends or even with a plain white T-shirt tucked in and some casual shoes.

Overall, we’re pretty obsessed with all of these trends right now, and look forward to seeing how people style them into their wardrobe. Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for regular updates!

At Tonic there is nothing we love more than having our lovely customers drop by to say hello – especially when they are amazing bloggers! A few weeks ago the impossibly dapper Joe Peters, author of the menswear fashion blog www.jcdpeters.com, came by our Fulham store to check out the sale and get a glimpse of our Spring/Summer ’16 collection – we think Joe wasn’t the least bit disappointed…

Joe was introduced to the likes of Garcia Jeans, Bertoni Of Denmark, Casual Friday, Red Soul and Blend – brands which suit Joe’s modern, elegant and well-suited style.

As we mentioned in our last post Christmas comes early for some! We became Santa’s little helpers and gave out a few Tonic Christmas treats early to a few very lucky vloggers who have been good this year… A few days ago the gorgeous Charlotte, known as Charltom Wintale on her social media channels, opened up her amazing Ho Ho Holiday Hamper from SNS in her latest YouTube video. Full of amazing fashion and beauty products, Charlotte saves the best for last and looks absolutely delighted when at minute 17:26 she opens up the stunning dress by Dutch brand Pit that we gifted her. Featuring a faux-leather panel on the front, this pretty piece by Pit is a grown-up and miniamlistic take on the classic LBD, proving to be a super chic showstopper. Charlotte, we cannot wait to see you rocking this dress!

If after watching the full video below you don’t feel like you can wait until Christmas day, why not treat yourself (and others) early and pay us a visit or have a cheeky online browse? Go on – we won’t tell! Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for the latest news.

Christmas is now only 4 days away and here at Tonic we are trying not to be naughty and open our Christmas presents early… However not everyone has had to wait and three very lucky vloggers got an early visit from Santa, which included Christmas Tonic treats! YouTube star Ellie, better known as NinkComPoop, was treated to a fab Ho Ho Holiday Hamper from SNS – a Christmas-fuelled box full of beauty and fashion goodies. Can you guess what our favourite present is? If you watch Ellie’s video at minute 6:50 she opens up a gorgeous dress by Dutch brand Pit – she goes ahead to show us just how perfect the dress is for her. Ellie, you look amazing! Grid prints have been huge the past few seasons and clearly have no intention of going anywhere just yet. Pit’s grid print dress has an edgy, rock chick feel and can easily be dressed up or down!

Ellie mentions at the end of her video that the dress is one of her favourite presents and ends her vlog by reading out the Christmas card we sent her. Apart from our lovely Pit dress, which other presents did you like? And can we all get a holiday hamper just like that too please? Don’t forget you can always shop at Tonic to treat yourself (and, ahem, your loved ones too) to your dream holiday hamper!
