In fact, all you need are these colorful silk throw pillows by Alexandra D. Foster.Barely a week old, the company creates cushions that are hand-sewn in a legendary mill near Italy's Lake Como and are inspired by Foster's travels in a way that's more direct than many other products we've seen. Take, for example her Amalfi collection, pictured above, which resembles the tiled dome of one of the area's iconic churches.
