Welcome to Life 2.0
I’m Sydne, and I’m so happy you’re here.
I’ve been helping women get dressed since 2008, first as a fashion editor, then as a blogger turned content creator, and now here on Substack.
I started my blog, Sydne Style, while working at E! and Style Network, covering celebrity trends and turning red carpet looks into everyday inspiration. Blogging back then was all about connection, and honestly? I miss that. So here I am, bringing it back in a way that feels more personal and less scroll and swipe.
Over the years, so much changed. I went from living the single life in LA (always dressed up, always on the go) to working from home in San Diego with a toddler and two rescue pups. My lifestyle changed. My body changed. And my wardrobe had to change too.
I’m not letting go of my style. I’m evolving it to match the life I’m actually living: effortless, casual, classic.
What You’ll Find on Life 2.0
Style Sessions
Every Saturday, I send out a style newsletter. Sometimes it’s my Styling with Sydne series, where I share outfit inspiration featuring one piece styled multiple ways. Each look is built for real life: errands, playdates, dinners out, and everything in between. Think of it as your personal outfit planning system, curated with love (and zero stress). Other times, it’s Style Deep Dives. Think packing lists, seasonal swaps, or accessory edits. These are the posts you can revisit anytime you need a refresh.
small talk
Every Wednesday, I share a quick lifestyle check-in with personal blurbs, links, weekly faves, and a quote or mantra. It’s a little midweek catch-up to feel more connected and inspired.
real talk
When it feels right, I open up more deeply about motherhood, solo parenting, healing, and identity. Writing has always been my therapy, and sharing these moments helps us connect on a more personal level.
