A good camera is obviously the first step. Bloggers often use a 50 mm lens.
Apart from a professional camera + lens, it is really important to have the right lightning. The most flattering light is either in the morning or in the early evening (when the light is soft but still bright enough for pictures not to come out grainy).

A lot of those Tumblr accounts also use a lot of filters and photo editing to a large degree in order to achieve a particular effect. Try experimenting with filters with apps like Instagram, Afterlight, or PicStitch. It's fun and allows you to achieve virtually any look you want!
