Can any AE guru explain how you can do this in post? A bit of blur and chromatic aberration around the edges

You know what looks very much like your reference? Those cheap "HD" screw-on wide angle lenses. Especially if you use them on a full-frame sensor. They're fairly decent in the center and just go all to hell on the edges, but in a very pretty way to my eye.

You can google "chromatic aberration after effects" - I've seen tutorials where the color channels are moved a bit to give color fringing. You'd have to dupe a layer and mask the center out to get the edges-only look. (I believe there's at least one plugin that will add CA as well - could be the "Lens Care" plugin or one from that company, can't recall now.
 
IIRC, Magic Bullet can probably do CA in post. I know it does blur and vignetting.

However, you could just add masked duplicate layers with separate colors and a blur. Then adjust their scale slightly.
