Shelley in a Mother's Day ad
for Charlie perfume and cosmetics, 1976

Shelley was THE quintessential Charlie Girl and appeared in many, many ads for the brand. In 1976, she appeared in a newspaper ad for Charlie with the tagline "For Yourself, For Mother." It was a Mother's Day promo ad that offered customers a chance to purchase for their mother (or for themselves) the Charlie Triangle silver necklace set for only $4.50 with any purchase from the Charlie Collection by Revlon. The Charlie Triangle was a silver-toned pendant and chain necklace set. It had a silver-toned curb chain necklace that went through a hollow silver-toned triangular pendant. A single gold-toned bead went through the chain and hung right in the center of the hollow pendant. The piece was designed by award-winning designer Mikel Kawamura, whose work had been featured at Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and in leading jewelry stores around the US. The Charlie Triangle design was marketed world-wide. And Shelley was photographed wearing the fabulous Kawamura-designed piece... looking fabulous as well.

Star Style Hair '87

February 1987

Shelley had a career upswing in 1986. Her third TV series, Jack and Mike, was doing fairly well and getting decent ratings ("in the middle of the pack," as some writers put it). And after a first order of a pilot and 12 episodes, the ABC network ordered five more episodes in 1987. Naturally, Shelley was featured in many newspapers and magazines (as promo for her new TV series), where she talked about her career so far and her plans for the future. And since she was one of the more glamorous stars in Hollywood at the time, writeups about her looks, hair, and style would also crop up. In 1987, two hairstyle magazines featured her on the cover and on their pages... Star Hairdo's (for more, check out: On The Cover '87 and Rave Waves '87) and Sophisticate's Hairstyle Guide (for more, check out: Special Great Looks) And Shelley was a glamorous as ever.

Knit Tops and Boy-Cut Jeans

on Sears Fall Festival of Catalog Values,
November 1973

Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her modeling career, from the late '60s to the late '70s. Mail-order catalogs were at the height of its popularity at the time. They were big-book size publications that contained a list and pictures of the general merchandise from, usually, a department store that were available for purchase and delivery straight to the homes of their customers. Everything from homeware to toys were featured in these catalogs... as well as garments and the latest fashion pieces. Sears is an American chain of department stores founded in 1892. Aside from the big-book catalogs, they came out with tabloid-sized catalogs that featured items on sale. In November 26 of 1973, Shelley appeared on the pages of Sears Fall Festival of Catalog Values.

She appeared in the spread which featured knit tops and boy-cut jeans for young misses. The rib-knit body top had a turtleneck and long slim sleeves; and it came in a variety of colors namely red, yellow, white and navy. The boy-cut jeans were of high quality double-knit polyester and was styled to ride 3-inches below the natural waistline. It had a zipper fly-front, two-button closing at the waistband, belt loops, two front welt-seamed pockets, and ultra-wide legs that were about 30 inches at the hem. It came in bright navy, grass green, bright red, and white. The spread also featured the two-inch belt that had a gold-toned hook-and-eye clasp buckle. It came in plain bright blue, plain white, a combination of bright blue and white, and a combination of green, red, yellow and blue. Shelley wore different combos of the knit tops, boy-cut jeans and belts. She finished them off with a pair of casual heeled footwear. And Shelley looked casual, modern and definitely mid-70s chic.

Shelley appeared on many issues of Seventeen magazine from 1964 to the 1970s. In 1970, she appeared in the magazine's July issue, in several spreads. In a spread called "Country Western Leather Lowdown," she wore an outfit that was infused with a country western flavor. Shelley wore a floral-printed long-sleeved blouse by Laura Mae Life over a fringed honey suede midi skirt (that could also be worn as a poncho) by Roger of Paris. She topped it off with a honey suede peplum vest, also by Roger of Paris. Matching hose and boots by Sbicca finished her look. A western-style hat by Adolfo II accessorized her look. And Shelley looked downright western and effortlessly chic.
