Okay so I’m sure everyone has encountered at least one person who you really want to hate, but can’t. 

That’s Matilda Djerf

The 19-year-old blogger and model is the human embodiment of Summer- channeling that Tash Oakley cross Brooke Shields circa Blue Lagoon complexion. And that tan. Oh boy. What sucks for the rest of us mortals are that she is just as radiant on the inside as she is on the outside (it’s okay if you cry at this point). 

Dejerf hails from a small town called Boras in Sweden but currently spends her time travelling the globe, collaborating with creative and creating the Instagram of your dreams. ‘@matildadejerf’ consists of an oh so aesthetically pleasing array of bikini adorned torsos, white threads and foreign landscapes that most of us have so much as saved them to our Pinterest boards. But she says that her ultimate aim is to most importantly inspire others.

We took 5 with her so you can get to know a little bit more about the glowing goddess that is Matilda Djerf
