How do I start a street style blog?

I'd love to write a fashion blog similar to the Sartorialist, but far more casual and 20-something focused. How would the average girl go about doing this though? For a professional photographer and famous blogger, approaching people on the street and asking to take their picture is fair game, but for me it seems kind of creepy. I have a few fashionable friends who I can start with, but that only works for so long....

How is it usually done? I live in LA by the way.

First off, either learn how to use some blogging websites well or get a friend to do it for you. Blogs are hard to make but easy to use and post. Make as many friends with other fashion blogs as possible to improve your connections with the fashion-blogging community and 'get your name out there'.

If you dress really well when you ask people to take their picture for your blog, they won't think you are creepy and might even be flattered. Especially if you dress the same way as the people who you want to photograph dress, they'll be easier to work with.
