I feel sorry for the Admins that are left

Lilly Pulitzer launch FAIL!!!

Another designer partnership, another epic fail launch due to the site being unavailable. Here I thought that spending $1B on 'omnichannel' would work wonders. I guess the architecture can't run when people running it are laid off
