And to prep you on the brand's latest fashion initiative, which features designs from seven very cool designers — Tibi, Steven Alan, Chris Benz, Fallon, Jonathan Adler, Ruffian, and Billy Reid — we're offering up a closer look at our favorite pieces to inspire your own holiday shopping lists. Expect downtown-cool pieces from Tibi (we're obsessed with the Ponyboy faux-leather top), silky pajamas and cozy cashmere tees from Chris Benz, luxe-meets-multifunctional tech accessories from Steven Alan, edgy-glam statement jewelry from Fallon, and more. The clincher? Every item in the collection will retail for $100 or less and will include free shipping worldwide. Click on for our eBay Holiday Collective picks now.
Sarah Jessica Parker's Snakeskin Clutch Will Make Your Fall Luxe
At Carnegie Hall's 2012-2013 Season Opening Night Gala in NYC last night, Sarah Jessica Parker got an opportunity to show off her always fabulous style sense in a blue printed Oscar de la Renta maxi dress, Manolo Blahnik pumps, and Fallon jewels: this bib necklace ($265), this collar necklace ($375), and this crystal bracelet ($200). Her dress and baubles are not available to buy, but we can get our hands on SJP's Pierre Hardy mini snakeskin clutch ($990), which also comes with a detachable silver chain strap. Pair it with your fancy gowns like Sarah Jessica did or use it to amp up your t-shirt and jeans. It would also look amazing against an all-black look: turtleneck, pencil skirt, and pointy pumps.

"Thrilled to be collab'ing w @eBay_Fashion this holiday on a ltd edition, locally made collection. All my friends can attest I love Ebay!" Fallon's Dana Lorenz tweeted following the announcement, while Chris Benz responded "You & me, both, sister! Xx". In fact, it seems a love of eBay was somewhat of a prerequisite. All the participating designers were chosen because of "their genuine enthusiasm for eBay," the brand's general manager of fashion, Jeff Somers said, adding that "each [designer] brings originality and a distinct point of view, and embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of our marketplace."

Look We Love – Camel Coats and Red Pumps

>>Pumps might not be the most Winter-friendly choice, but who can resist a pair of vixen red heels? We love how this street-snapped Parisian donned hers with ivory socks — for a little added warmth — denim skinnies, a cozy print sweater, and a wooly coat. Emulate her très chic outfit with our picks from Twenty8Twelve, Fallon, Sunner, and Calvin Klein.

Spring Shopping: Fenton/Fallon For J.Crew

Lucky for us, J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons and Fenton/Fallon designer Dana Lorenz became fast friends after meeting during a dinner party and quickly had the idea of a jewelry collaboration. The seven-piece lineup, called Fenton/Fallon for J.Crew, is made up of Lorenz's signature chunky metals and ranges in price from $95-$295. "I didn't water my design down at all," the jewelry designer recently told Harper's Bazaar. "I included all of my iconic Fenton/Fallon things, like the pyramid studs, spikes, and jumbled chains." Having bought the bracelet above in J.Crew's Soho store yesterday, we can attest to that.
Celeb Style: Katie Cassidy
I said it once and I'll say it again: Katie Cassidy wears some interesting things. And hey — I'd rather see interesting than boring. She turned up the accessory volume at a Division E launch event at Lisa Kline in LA, Kellan Lutz in tow. She wore some flowy Division E layers, black leggings, and buttoned Frye boots. But it's her fringed and stoned necklace and necklace-worn-as-bracelet that make her interesting. Pretty cool.
