In time for the holiday shopping season, Rebecca Minkoff just released her stylish tech-savvy collection of affordable tech accessories exclusively for eBay. Psst, don't forget to leave a comment here to win your very own Rebecca Minkoff lux iPad case. After all, everyone needs a snazzy case to go with their awesome gadgets. Last night at the launch party — which included cute free manis and pedis — the designer chatted with us about being addicted to her tech gadgets, her holiday wish list, and partywear dressing tips. The proud new mommy even showed us cute pictures of her adorable son Luca — aww!

FabSugar: Your tech accessories line shows signature "Rebecca Minkoff" style. How would you describe the girl that wears your collection?
Rebecca Minkoff: We call her the "downtown romantic." She likes to be noticed for her style and her bag, but not because of the logo. When I talk to my customers, they love that they're getting stopped for the style of their bag, or their shoe and apparel, not because of some particular name.

FS: These pieces are great for holiday gifting. Speaking of presents, what's on your wish list this year?
RM: A dining room table. We're slowly renovating our apartment since we made a room for the baby, which previously didn't exist. Something modern, maybe midcentury? That's always good.

FS: What do you love to give your friends during the holidays?
RM: I love to give people things from my line, because it's usually my friends who come to me saying, "I need a new bag for my wife, help!"

Since the Spring '12 runways, we've been waiting to see which celebrities would wear the looks first — but it's a special treat when the designer wears her own clothes. That's exactly what Victoria Beckham did at last night's WWD's Apparel and Retail CEO Summit at NYC's Plaza Hotel wearing a strapless colorblocked dress over leather pants from her Spring '12 collection. Get this: those leather "pants" are actually leather leg warmers (clipped into her Louboutins) to emote the dress-over-pants trend we saw all over the Spring collections. Now with a glimpse of the runway to reality, we're even more convinced of its cool effect. Sure, the style requires a little risk taking, but if you're game, just read on for our styling tips then shop the pieces to try the look for yourself.

• Choose pieces that flatter your shape. You don't have to wear a body-hugging strapless and leather leggings a la Victoria to wear the trend. Opt for separates that flatter your figure.
• This look works best when you keep your dresses and pants proportional. If you've chosen a loose, billowy dress on top, look for pants that stay a little more fitted to the body so you don't lose your shape.
• This is a contemporary look that's meant to be easy; a dress with too much length or bulk is going to feel overworked and off balance with the casual vibe of the pants you pair with it.
• Embrace the trend now with this season's sweater dresses and knits over slim pants and leggings. This may be the easiest and most universally flattering way to wear the look.

Kirsten Dunst won us over with her batch of girlie-cool looks to steal. This one's a favorite for its sharp color contrasts and retro-inspired accents. She pairs two of our favorite Fall staples, adding a brilliant, silky button-down to flared denim, then plays up that '70s street vibe with tan platform sandals and cat-eye shades. The look is simple enough, but it comes together in the details; a perfect red pout amps up the vintage appeal while a timeless Louis Vuitton duffel lends a little luxe. Inspired to try the same polished day-to-day look? Just shop our editors' picks to channel Kirsten's style.
