Shelley appeared on numerous catalogs during her Supermodel days. In 1971, she appeared on the pages of Simpsons-Sears Spring and Summer 1971 catalog. Simpsons-Sears was a joint venture between the Canadian retailer Simpsons and the American retailer Sears. Catalogs carrying the Simpsons-Sears logo were created from 1965 to 1972.

In the spread called "Red, White and Blue Color The Waterfront," Shelley modeled swimsuits that were perfect for summer at the beach that year. She wore the Swimmer Suit. It had a U-neck, had banding over the bra section that pulled through a loop and had elastic boy legs. She also wore a New-look 2-piece suit that had cotton eyelet trims on the top and the waist as well as polka dot trimming and ribbon details on the same parts. A sun hat finished her look. Shelley looked fab in both swimsuits.
