YouTuber-turned-fashion star Emma Chamberlain loves a good thrift find — but she wants to make sure she takes care of her vast collection.

“My favorite pair of vintage Levi’s is my prized possession,” Chamberlain, 22, exclusively tells Us Weekly‘s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me.

Chamberlain is trying to make sure she doesn’t go overboard when she hits the flea market. “I collect vintage clothing and accessories and various other antiques,” she tells Us. “I try to keep my collection under control to ensure everything gets proper attention and appreciation.”

Her fashion sense is reflected in her new Walmart collab, which includes classic baking essentials (like an exclusive Chamberlain Coffee Kitchen Apron) and game night necessities. “I have been a fan for years and have always loved shopping at Walmart,” she gushes to Us.
