  I have been looking everywhere for them and can’t seem to find it. (Note: I see that I can add an email subscription box, but I would like on that looks like the one specified.) Does WordPress.com support these widgets?

  No. This is what WordPress.com provides:
  blog subscription widget > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/blog-subscription-widget/
  enable blog subscriptions > http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscriptions/

  You could even hand-code the RSS link and image into the same text widget with the twitter follower button.

  I saw these widgets at: http://couturelust.com
  What do you mean by hand-coding the RSS link and image? Can you help me with that?

  This support document outlines a procedure that lets you use the post editor to create the code: http://en.support.wordpress.com/links/text-widget-links/ .

  You can find a lot of free RSS icons online that you can use.

  Also, couturelust.com is a self-hosted wordpress site and what is possible with a self-hosted site is different from here. There are more code restrictions and such here due to the fact that this is a multi-user platform. That means we all share the same underlying files. If one person introduced some bad code, it could conceivably bring down millions of sites.
