Good Morning! I’m Caitlin Patton. – Morning Routine Series

Good morning and welcome back to Vogue and a Latte! I hope everyone had a fabulous Fourth of July filled with loved ones and fireworks. <3
The V&L Good Morning series continues!!! I seriously love everything about this series… I can’t wait to dive into today’s blogger. Introducing Caitlin Patton! I am sure that so many of you already follow her, and if you do, I am sure that you love her! Caitlin is the gal behind the blog SophisticaitionHer blog is filled with style and life tips that really lead to feeling GOOD about yourself. That is a blog that I can get behind. I think that it is so important to lift one another up each and every day. She is encouraging, uplifting, and so stylish!
Why I love following Caitlin: She is ALWAYS inspiring me to do something new with my blog or Instagram. She is immensely consistent with her blog and that to me deserves major props. Her style is always on point and I really appreciate the way that she genuinely engages with her followers. Here goes, let’s set the scene:
________________________________________________

My bedroom is a cozy little corner room of my apartment. It’s in the back, so I hear all the sounds of the city, and most importantly, thunder and rain from storms. My bed is on risers for extra storage, but it also makes it that much more of a retreat! It’s overflowing with throw pillows decked out in European shams and embroidery, and when I crawl in at night, I sink in, not wanting to be disturbed, and definitely not wanting to crawl out in the morning. (Madison here, I LOVE a good detail and this intro is everything I have ever wanted in life.)

7:30 – Wake up to my iPhone alarm. Promptly hit snooze.

7:36 – Actually get out of bed, open my blackout shades. Wash my face + brush my teeth. I use the Milky Jelly cleanser from Glossier and I swear by it! If my skin is dry, I’ll put on moisturizer (also from Glossier)

7:40 – Drudge over to my Keurig. Prepare coffee (chai tea latte on some mornings when I need an extra *oomph*). Mentally wake up.

7:45 – Drink coffee while reading + watching the news. I prefer BBC (completely unbiased compared to Fox & CNN) and then I just love Hoda, so I watch the Today Show.

8:00 – Glance at my to-do list for the day. I do it in a time block manner which really helps me visualize projects + events to see where I have free time. Figure out if anything needs to be moved around. Jot in a barre session wherever I have a couple of hours free.

8:30 – If my morning is free of calls or meetings, begin walking to Pure Barre. It takes me about 12 minutes on an average day.

9:00 – 9:50 – Get my a** kicked. Curse the day I ever hinted to my mom that I wanted to get back into barre, causing her to buy me a membership.

10:00 – Begin to walk home. Stop by the bakery down the street for a late breakfast sandwich. Text my mom, “Thanks again for the PB membership! I love it!!!” because, deep down, I do.
