Julirs' shopping cart is a great place to start.
You can save a lot of money from purchasing everything from www.lllreptile.com
Lets start from the top and work our way down.

Here is some information on why reptiles need UVB.

Here is the recommend bulb:

Here is the hood you need for that bulb:

You can use a standard incandescent house bulb for UVA and heat.
Here is a recommend hood for that bulb.

Cages should be all screen to allow for proper ventilation.
Chameleons live high up in the trees, therefor they need a lot of airflow.
The airflow allows the cage to dry between mistings.
For and extra three dollars you could purchase a larger cage.
This should last you until the age of 8-9 months before needing to upgrade to a taller cage if you plan on getting a male. This cage should last for the duration of a female's lifespan.

Chameleons don't drink from standing water, so you will need to mist the cage at least two times per day.
