Find your perfect frames with Bloobloom free home try-on

I have been gifted products for this post.

Last year when I discovered my six month old puppy had eaten my prescription glasses, I was gutted, skint and frankly, squinting at the computer screen 90% of the time.

They were only about a month out of their warranty, so Boots wouldn’t replace them. They offered to reglaze them for £90, but that what double what they had cost me in the first place. I had offered to buy a brand new pair for around £50, but the frame I loved was out of stock. It’s a good job Frank is cute, let me tell you.

So after a year of on and off searching for frames and making do with another my spares, I was starting to give up. I didn’t just want any pair of glasses, I wanted the pair that made everyone stop and say ‘oh wow, I love your glasses – where did you get them?’

I stumbled upon Bloobloom via their Instagram sponsored posts and instantly fell in love with their frames.

Ordering online, I used their home try-on service where I could select five frames to try on for five days. This is totally free, so there is no commitment to purchase which I thought was brilliant.

The parcel arrived and inside was a burgundy leather-look box embossed with ‘Bloobloom’. It was lined with blue velvet material holding my five chosen frames. It was a really beautiful design that clearly a lot of care has gone into creating for the brand to curate a luxe service at home.

These are the frames I selected from Bloobloom and what I thought about them. You can view my unboxing at try on IGTV below, too.

Bloobloom: The Ballerina in Diorite

All of the Bloobloom frames make a statement, but The Ballerina is something else. I love tortoise shell, as my previous glasses were in the pattern, but I love how these are black and white instead of the classic brown pattern.
I love the design and the shape, but found them a little too big for my face. The subtle cat eye style is gorgeous and black and white would easily pair well with any outfit.

Bloobloom: The Daydreamer in Silver

These simple frames reminded me of my friend Tamar, who wears a similar style. Those of you who follow me on IG messaged me to say you loved this pair, but personally I don’t think they suited me as well as others. Tamar pulls them off so well, and I think I had my heart set on something a little bolder.

Bloobloom: The Londoner in Diorite

These were instantly my favourite when I pulled them out of the box. I loved all of the glasses but the second I put these on, something just clicked. When you know, you know. I used to spend hours sobbing in Specsavers as a child, because nothing ever felt right – but these did.

I ordered The Ballerina in Diorite because I adored the pattern, and the same goes for The Londoner. There is something so chic about these specs that make me feel super sophisticated, so I think these will be the pair I get my prescription put in to.

Bloobloom: The Lover in Honey

The frames that Frank ate were a similar shape and colour to The Lover, and whilst I do really like these frames, I wanted to move away from my old style of glasses and go for something different this time around.
I would definitely have selected these if my old glasses weren’t so similar, and the colour is just super dreamy.

Bloobloom: The Visionary in Honey

I love a round frame, but I don’t think I could pull these off for everyday wear. Someone far cooler than me certainly could, but I needed something a little more wearable. In the same colour as The Lover, I thought the honey shade was lovely and could be worn all year round. However, The Londoner had won my heart over.

Each frame comes in a selection of different colours, from pinks and whites, to honey and blues. They are beautifully unique styles and various designs to fit different face shapes.
