What is Life 2.0 and Who Is Sydne?
Hi! I’m Sydne Summer and I’ve been a fashion and lifestyle blogger for over a decade. I started my blog, Sydne Style, while I was a fashion editor at E! and Style Network, where I reported on celebrity trends. Over the years, blogging turned into influencing and content creation. I’ve missed the OG blogging days, which was all about connection.
So I started writing on Substack. Life 2.0 is my new chapter as a mom in San Diego. As my life has evolved, so has my fashion. I still gravitate towards feminine and timeless style. But these days, it mostly translates into casual classic outfits.
When I started my blog, I had a series showing how to wear one piece multiple ways. I then expanded that concept into TV segments for E! and Style Network. It’s such a helpful way to get the most use out of your wardrobe. So I decided to go back to my roots. In Life 2.0, I send out weekly outfit ideas centered around one classic item. In this new chapter it’s just less stilettos and pencil skirts and more sandals and jeans.
In my monthly recaps, I also share what I use most, from fashion and beauty to recipes and mom products. And you’ll get the occasional personal essay on life lessons, because I miss writing and love connecting with you.
How Often Do You Post?
Weekly: Every Saturday, I publish my outfit posts showing how to wear one piece multiple ways.
Monthly: I send out a month in review at the end of each mom, one regular edition and one mom edition. I’m still working on nailing down an exact day so TBD on that! I also sporadically send out more personal life lessons. I’m a single mom to a toddler and two rescue pups. So anything more than that is definitely ambitious for me these days. Plus, I don’t want to flood your inbox. I know cleaning out mine is always a work in progress.
Do I Have to Pay to Read?
Nope! You’ll get exclusive content and perks if you are a paid subscriber. But free subscribers to Life 2.0 still get:
